Live action tv needs to quit doing Seth Green dirty. I'm pretty sure the last non-animated show he was on was Kings, which I think didn't even make it to a half season on NBC what, five years ago?

Brian and I watched Sleepy Hollow and liked it well enough. I'm glad it wasn't super-slapsticky with the 'holy crepe what is this strange contraption because I have been dead for 250 years' thing, in fact I don't think that dude even blinked at the sight of cars.

Always go in with high hopes, and always prepare for them to be dashed all over the rocks.

So Brian and I watched Dads and OH MY GOD. I think my "favorite" racist dad joke was when Martin MUll came in and you can't see the screen and he asks G-Ribs if he's playing 'Punch the Puerto Rican'. What. What. What does that even mean?!

Dads is forking awful. Even beyond the laziest race jokes I've ever heard, it fails to make any jokes at all! And the laugh track is pretty much constant. It's like the person controlling the laugh track didn't know where the jokes were (I certainly didn't) and just inserted laughter after every sentence. I want to hope that, secretly, that person also hates Dads and has done their part to make it even worse by over doing the laugh track.

I didn't find any part of Dads funny. I found plenty of it uncomfortable, but mostly because I couldn't understand how anyone could find it funny. The non-jokes surrounded by disembodied laughter kind of create this nightmare situation in which everyone is having a good time except me. I feel like I'm watching a show in which I understand the language being used, but I can't comprehend the culture in which this is a funny show.

If this is some brilliant plan to create the feeling of being an immigrant in an unfamiliar culture, then it might actually be working. Otherwise, I have to question whether the writers even know what funny is. I fully understood all of the racist, sexist, and ageist jokes, but none of them were funny. It's really discomforting to watch.

Hey, but you know what was a good show? Siberia. It started off like a Survivor type reality show, and ditched most of that junk by the end and turned into some cross between the Blair Witch and Lost. It's weird, and it's got mystery, and it pretends to have a basis in reality by actually killing characters, and I like that.

I'm eagerly awaiting everyone involved to stop defending the racism and start defending how unfunny it is. Or is the joke that it's so unfunny?

It's weird because when I don't like something i'm usually just like, "Eh, it's not for me." and when I like something that people think is terrible, I don't care about that either. But as a tv viewer, I am utterly offended that such a piece of dog shiitake made it through writing, the actors, producers, and director, editing, the pilot process, and the network and no one stepped back and said, "Wow. This is really terrible. Can we rewrite like every other sentence?" No, instead they were like "LAUGH TRACK. LAUGH TRACK AT EVERY POSSIBLE INSTANCE."

you are kind of making me want to watch how bad it is, but i don't think i can because I know exactly what you guys mean about the extreme laugh track with nothing funny and I know that would make me go insane.

A list of all of the comedies you should avoid this fall, starting with Dads.

Brian and I watched The Goldbergs pilot, it was okay. I'll probably give it 1-2 more episodes before I decide if I want to keep watching it.

Oh, and I watched Trophy Wife and liked it. This sounds stupid, but I didn't realize it was only a 22 minute show so that's why I gave it a chance. I'll watch almost anything once if it's only 22 minutes long. And Bradley Whitford.

Trophy Wife looks okayish. From that list the only show I want to watch is Super Fun Night. On a Rebel Wilson note, I just watched Bridesmaids, and holy crepe that movie stressed me out. Except for the Irish guy, because he was kind of cute.

Re: 22 minute shows, Awkward is 22 minutes of pure awesome, which is why bastah and I watched the whole 2 1/2 seasons (34 episodes) in far less than a week.

I checked out Sleepy Hollow, looked good to me. Brooklyn 9 9. Unfortunately something about Samberg annoys me, and I don't know what. But I did laugh a few times and like a lot of the side characters, so I will watch a few more episodes.I watched Dads because I was so curious. Holy shiitake! Most sexist and racist crepe ever. How?! Why?!I am curious about Trophy Wife bc I like Malin Ackerman (sp?) but I am not into the whole young vs older wife trope. eh.

eta: Has anyone watched the Rebel Wilson show? I watched the clip up on Hulu and did not like it.
